Change Nutrition, Change Health

This brand new programme launches in January 2010 and is aimed at people who are ready to take positive action to improve their health by reducing 'fat around the middle', high blood pressure, high cholesterol and other health risk factors.

It is open to people who may be at risk of developing Metabolic Syndrome (sometimes called 'Syndrome X') or have already been diagnosed. Risk factors for Metabolic Syndrome include:

  • Central Obesity ('fat around the middle') 
  • High blood pressure 
  • High blood sugar 
  • High blood triglycerides (fats)
  • Low HDL  ('good cholesterol')

A diagnosis of Metabolic Syndrome is made where 3 or more of the above are present and suggests there may be an increased risk for heart disease and Type 2 diabetes - these risks can be reduced significantly by taking positive action through simple diet and lifestyle changes. Whether you have just 1 risk factor or a cluster, it is never too late to start making changes to improve your long term health.
